. R1 ^/ Q( O+ SWe are also asking for your help. Last year, we sent hundreds of emails to clubs around the world, we got the email addresses from internet lists which were terrible. So this year, we are asking you to forward this email to every amateur astronomer you know.- e0 ]( }0 i0 t" y6 l

Joining ISAN on the WebsiteWe have updated the website www.sidewalkastronomynight.com and instead of listing all the participants, we are using the guestmap that we used for results last year. The map will be a better visual of who is participating and we ask all of you to post your locations. Just go to the website and on the page "Take Part - Join In!" you just click on the little globe. You don't have to post a contact email, if you don't like having it posted on the net, you can instead list your club's website. Just be sure to list your city and country.

You will notice that we have the same flyers that we had last year. If any of you made up different informational flyers, please let us know and we can post them.# u7 F, W% A# w9 I8 G

$ G! c, h7 u5 K" f5 G' B. \$ Y& ^We would also like to see your posters and we would like to have an ISAN T-shirt if someone would like to design one. Since we use CafePress.com for shirts, we just need to upload the artwork, with CafePress they are printed on demand, so we can have as many different ones as we want with no minimum orders. The Sidewalk Astronomers don't make profit on the CafePress items, but it allows us to get one or two of an item. Please take a look and give us some ideas. www.cafepress.com/sidewalkastro . When you send artwork, please write "cafe press isan" in the subject line of the email and send it to sidewalkastronomynight@earthlink.net    k3 H6 g# W" ~# {( f

We have printed the booklet from the 1st International Sidewalk Astronomy Night available and will send it out to all of our members, but we need to be sure that we have your correct postal address. There is a link at the bottom of this email that says Update Profile, make sure you update yours with your correct address. " R- A7 i! n- ?7 P% n/ u

" W6 y# w" N% y6 Z. UEveryone who is on this email list, has ordered products from our website, has taken a class here in LA, has actually "joined" the SA, or has asked to be on the mailing list - all are considered members regardless of whether or not they have paid dues. All these lists are combined, but postage, both international and domestic, is expensive when you are sending out several hundred and we want to be sure we have the correct information.

第二届国际天文路边夜（ISAN，International Sidewalk Astronomy Night）已经定在2008年4月12日。这一天刚好就是Yuri's Night(尤里 加加林夜，就是为了庆祝第一个太空人)，希望我们有普通大众和业余天文爱好者参加进来。

我们对今年的活动的组织和管理都做了一些改善，希望能比去年的天文夜活动进行得更加顺利和成功。

我们也希望看到你的海报，如果有人愿意设计的话我们也希望有一件ISAN T-shirt。我们是用CafePress.com来制作T-shirt的，我们只需要发送一些设计图就可以了，CafePress会按要求印制，所以我们想有多少不同的T-shirt就有多少，不用管订单数。SidewalkAstronomers组织没有在CafePress上获利，不过他们允许我们从每一件中提取壹两美元，请看上一眼然后给我们一些点子.网址：www.cafepress.com/sidewalkastro .当你发送设计图时，请在邮件主题上写上 "cafe press isan"并发送到 sidewalkastronomynight@earthlink.net
